The following might turn out a bit nicer: Make folio_pte_batch() collect
"any_young", then doing something like we do with "any_writable" in the fork()
case:

...
     nr = folio_pte_batch(folio, addr, pte, ptent, max_nr,
                  fpb_flags, NULL, any_young);
     if (any_young)
         pte_mkyoung(ptent)
...

if (!pageout && pte_young(ptent)) {
     mkold_full_ptes(mm, addr, pte, nr, tlb->fullmm);
     tlb_remove_tlb_entries(tlb, pte, nr, addr);
}


I thought about that but decided that it would be better to only TLBI the actual
entries that were young. Although looking at tlb_remove_tlb_entry() I see that
it just maintains a range between the lowest and highest address, so this won't
actually make any difference.

Yes, tlb_remove_tlb_entries() looks scarier than it actually is :)
